Remote Control • Working Accessory Devices

SETTING THE TV REMOTE TO WORK ACCESSORY DEVICES

SEARCH METHOD

Your TV remote can be set to work various accessory devices (VCRs,

cable converters, satellite receivers) by what is called the Search Method. NOTE: The Search Method works with devices equipped with Channel Display Indicators (cable TV convert- ers, satellite receivers, etc.). For VCRs, the play/stop function is used to confirm that the correct code has been found. Please read the steps below once before performing them.

BEGIN

Turn on the desired device. For a VCR, insert a tape and begin playing.

Move the slide switch on the side of the TV remote to VCR or ACC mode for the desired device.

Press and hold the VCR RECORD (•) and SMARTSOUND buttons at the same time.

While continuing to hold the VCR RECORD (•) and SMART- SOUND buttons, point the TV remote at the remote sensor window of the accessory device. The TV remote will begin transmitting codes to try to find the one for your accesso- ry device.

For cable converter boxes and satellite receivers, watch the acces- sory device’s Channel Indicator.

When the channel numbers begin to change, immediately release the VCR RECORD (•) and SMARTSOUND buttons. The TV remote has identified the correct remote code for the acces- sory device. For VCRs, when the

VCR player stops, the correct code

has been found. When you release the VCR RECORD and SMART- SOUND buttons, the remote code for the accessory device will be stored in the TV remote. Whenever you want to use the TV remote to work the acces- sory device, remember to have the slide switch on the TV remote in the VCR or ACC mode. Then point the TV remote at the accessory device to operate it.

• Your TV remote may

 

 

locate the accessory device’s

 

 

code quickly or require several

 

 

 

minutes to do so.

 

 

 

 

Don’t let the accessory device scan through more than five channels when the correct code is found— the remote may pass up the right code and have to repeat the search cycle.

If the channel does not change on the accessory device or if the VCR fails to stop, repeat steps 1–4. If there is still no response, the remote will not work the accessory device or VCR.
